I had seen Abu's in the area and finally, after seeing watched a video about it, decided to stop in. The space is bright with a counter to order and pies galore on display. Of course, I had to try their signature, navy bean pie, which I love the fact that it comes in a 4 inch size. "This is quite literally the perfect size for me!" I thought to myself naively before trying it. I was wrong. I needed the large. I need to recipe. I was in awe (and as my boyfriend pointed out, likely hitting my protein goals as well). I'm sure there will be pre-orders for the holidays, and I'm definitely making a note to myself to place an order for bringing some to my family event events. I had also had a portion of their leftover carrot cake. This is some of if not the best carrot cake I've ever had in my life. The crust of the cake was simply perfection, everything was mixed in so well, and there were no awkward pieces of carrot that you would randomly get caught chewing on, and it was MOIST. I would like to think that this is also somewhat healthy for me to be indulging on as it's a vegetable, right? Finally I tried a slice of what I think is the pound cake. I didn't really love it but I did eat it all as it was the perfect quick energy breakfast for my the next morning at work. I'm really excited to come back here and try the other pies that they have like their sweet potato pie or coconut cream. You definitely don't want to miss out on Abu's! read more

Great pies and prices are reasonable! One of my favorite bakeries in my area,I highly recommend this bakery! read more

Fantastic bakery and the desserts are wonderful and very fresh! I have had cake slices and mini pies and each one was good.

Sweet potato pie is the best. I'll never bake another pie. I will buy my pies for them.

I love coming to Abu's for some fresh baked goods. They are a Brooklyn & Fulton St staple. It's small inside but there's a lot of yummyness going on. They offer pies & cakes. The bean pie here is legendary. I like their spicy cabbage patty it's got a nice zing to it and the callaloo patty is also very good. This is one of the very few bakeries left in New York City that still bake bean pies so what're you waiting for? Come & get yourself some. read more

Delicious pies and bread pudding. The signature is a navy bean pie but I've seen sweet potato, butternut squash, and pecan, along with brownies and other treats. I stop in whenever I'm in the hood. Homemade baking with unpretentious friendly service. I wish there were more bakeries like this! read more

I ordered their pumpkin and bean pies and their carrot cake. Everything was so good, especially the bean pie. The young lady behind the counter was so sweet. I'll be back to try their other selections! read more

Love the courteous, welcoming and professional customer service. The pie crust on all the pies has great texture and flavor. I have had four of their flavors. I can not decide which is my favorite. I love them all. The coconut custard is filled with coconut flakes and an egg custard. The sweet potato is delicious. The pecan pie has plenty of chopped pecans and great gooey insides. The bean pie is above every other bean pie I have had in my life. You can taste the fresh ingredients, vanilla, butter, cinnamon etc. All the pies are delicious and perfect anytime if the day. They also come in different sizes. Pocket size, pocketbook size and shopping bag size. If you want to order for the holidays it is best to order in advance, they may not have the size you want. Love these pies! read more

I ordered half a dozen small bean pies online from Abu's and they were by far the best bean pies I have ever eaten. I have eaten bean pies from various bakers in Philly and Jersey and none of them are as good as these. The customer service was excellent. Everything was well packed and shipped efficiently. I will definitely be ordering again. read more

Sorry to say it was just OK there was too much of something In it or maybe not enough of something else...I couldn't put my Finger on it but it wasn't bean pie that I knew back in the day. It wasn't bad but when you have a taste in your mouth for something from way back... I don't know maybe my bougie palate has surpassed my Brooklyn roots. The shop is cute the people are awesome my niece loved the pie so I guess that's all that really counts. read more

While I know how to make my own sweet potato and bean pie, sometimes I don't feel like baking. This is where I get some when that happens. A nice personal sized pie. It is Muslim and Black owned right in the heart of Bed Stuy. read more

I tried Abu's bakery for the first time last week and I am amazed at the quality! I bought 4 mini-pies so that I could try all the flavors. This is my personal chart: 1. Bean pie: it's simply amazing. I would have never thought a bean pie could be so good. It tastes delicious, the texture is great. 2. Pecan pie: it's great! Intense nut flavor, just the right amount of sweetness 3. Coconut pie: it's good. I often crave custard pies and this one fits the bill. Not mind-blowing like the first two, but solid. 4. Sweet potato pie. This one was just ok. I'm not a pumpkin or sweet potato pie aficionado, but this didn't impress me. Anyway, 2 dollars per mini-pie is a steal. I'm so happy I live close by, so I can get those delicious bean pies on a regular basis! read more

Disappointed that I received an uncooked bean pie this time. I've been coming here for over a decade, every time I visit NYC and the quality has definitely gone downhill. I brought my pie back to DC had to cook it for 20 minutes to even get the top and crust brown. Then it was still mushy on the inside. Not sure if they aren't watching them or whats happening,but as the price increase I expect the quality to as well. read more

Cute little bakery, friendly staff and a wide variety of sweet treats. Unfortunately, the strawberry cake I purchased was a little on the dry side for my taste as I prefer moist cakes but I would probably visit and try a bean pie to see how they taste sometime in the near future. read more

We went here to support Black owned businesses, and also because the sign said bean pies and I had no idea what those were. First if all, the owner is a gentleman. He took the time to explain how the pies taste, and what the best variety to choose were. Let me tell you, that was my first time ordering navy bean pie, but it certainly won't be the last. It the perfect amount of sweet. Along with the coconut custard pie, it was the star of Thanksgiving. In addition, the carrot load made a delicious treat to indulge in on the ride home. I will be back. read more

Get the bean pie and coconut pie!!! SO GOOD!! The mini ones are 2.50 each but veryyyyy sweeet so make sure you have something to drink on hand read more

So let me tell you about growing up in New York. If you were in Brooklyn in the 90s, you would run into someone on the street selling the Fnal Call newspaper in one hand and bean pies in the other. I often opted for the Bean pies . To those not from that era or from New York the word beam and pie probably doesn't go together. A baking tradition and recipe actually started by the Nation of Islam, you'd be surprised how damn good these pies are. I used to eat at least once a week. This spot in Brooklyn is a gem. It's great to find a place that still bakes their own goods. I mentioned the bean pies, but they also have sweet potato pie and a coconut custard pie that is slamming. You also can get a variety of cookies and cakes. But they are most famous for those Bean pies. Let me give you a little tip, throw the pie in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds, throw some cold ice cream on that warm pie and dig in to all that happiness read more

Best banana pudding I've ever had!

I ordered the banana pudding on the same day a fellow Yelper mentioned it not looking very fresh and had the same experience. I thought maybe it just needed to be stirred but I should have trusted my instincts, shortly after tasting it I was struck with a stomach bug that kept me in bed for two days! I also purchased cake which looked dry and stale so I had to throw it out. Please be mindful of your customers and dispose of food items that are likely not suited for consumption. This is unacceptable. read more

I do a love a nice baked good. I'm happy I finally stopped into this place. First of all, this is a community staple for not just the local Muslim community, but for Bedstuy and Brooklyn as a whole. I finally decided to try a navy bean pie after all my years of life thinking "ill...beans...and pie...nah, I'm good." The adult me has to constantly remind myself to branch out and taste what this world has to offer. I am a fan and I'll probably come back every couple weeks now. I also want to rifle through some of their other options such as the banana pudding and maybe some cakes as well. The people are charming and the atmosphere is warm in here. Definitely check them out. read more

How did it take me this long to find you. Bean pie is very smooth, sweet & cinnamon-y with a crust that is fresh, crumbly, substantial. I had a mini bean pie but will be back tonight to try their coconut & sweet potato one. & a slice of red velvet. Small shrimp corn chowder for 3 bucks sure beats the heck outta an $11 one I got some time ago from uptown. It's these little finds you gotta love and thank yelp for. So thank u guys. read more

Am I the only person that LOVES bean pies? It is 1 of 3 things that I got from my father. As I got older I never really knew where to get them. I just knew he got them from the men in the suits. When I got to college and would drive home during breaks or a random weekend, I would purposely take the BK bridge home so I could see the Muslim brothers in the suits with their paper and bean pies. I would shout in the car "Bean Pie my brother!!" My friends would look at me crazy in the car. But I had to get my 2 mini pies. Anywho after a while "Bean Pie my brother " wasn't at the foot of the BK bridge anymore and I lost my bean pie connect. I have looked for bean pies in bakeries and have had a random pies at festivals but it never was the same. I stumbled across this place randomly. Mad that it was so close to my house. When I saw the pie I shouted "Bean Pie my brother". I was so excited and saw they delievered via Postmates. I got two medium pies praying it would taste the way I remembered... and it did!! I had one pie for lunch, dinner and breakfast (Don't judge my life). I can't speak for how the other pastries taste, but I'm all the way into their bean pie!! Dont knock it til you try it. read more

Abu's has been coming through. Yes, there was that one time with the fermented banana pudding, but otherwise every other cupcake, slice of cake, or piece of pie has been absolutely delicious. Abu continues to be a go-to for me when in the mood for a sweet treat. These days my cake of choice is the strawberry cake, though I still reminisce about the lemon cake of yesteryears. read more

I tried to order a pineapple coconut cake and sweet potato pie from Abu's bakery. I called five days before my event and was told to call back 48 hours before the event because my order will be lost if they take it now and it there is no need to leave a down payment. That tells me that they are irresponsible and unable to accommodate the volume of orders. I called back 48 before my event and no answer. No answering service and, I was unable to place an order online. The phone rung out. It's unprofessional and I honestly expected more. read more

Awesome establishment. Full of sweets and treats. The bean pies are $5 each. I saw a video of this place on Facebook and had to come on over. The bean pie has a taste that my tastebuds definitely agree with. It's definitely in my top 5 of bean pies that I've had over the years. This is a family and Muslim owned establishment and I was very happy and excited not only to visit but to support as well. The presentation and taste of the pie exceeded any expectations I could've ever had. I can taste fresh ingredients in the pie. I'll be coming back again soon enough. If you visit here I'm sure you'll enjoy it as well. They have different sizes of the pies as well read more

It's nice to see Abou's friendly face in the morning; he will always greet you with a smile... I come here for my weekly fix of banana pudding and bread pudding. They are both REALLY delicious. I also tried some of the pies, like the bean pie or the sweet potato pie, also very good. My only bad experience with Abou's has been a banana pudding that tasted somewhat funky (it had started fermenting or something). Don't come here before 11 AM, you won't find much. read more

Love their bean pies. Sorry to mom but they are better than hers. They are a perfect balance and a great ending to a meal.

#1 special treat spot in the whole neighborhood!!! My fave item (that I have tried so far) is the coconut creme mini pie so cute,so good~ my boyfriend loves the mini pecan pie also so cute and so good They are only $2 each so you can try every flavor and find out which one is your favorite ! The girl always working at the counter is an angel Would bring anyone and everyone here as a special treat, and you should 2! read more

Great service and atmosphere. We got both a bean and sweet potato pie, both were great.

Was in the neighborhood buying my African food staples and stopped by to get their highly recommended sweet potato pie and boy was is good! I also ended up getting their banana bread too. Stop by when you get a chance and support the business. read more

Big fan of the bean pie, pecan pie and sweet potato pie! Can't get enough. Ramadan Mubarak!

The Bean Pies are delicious. So are the pecan and the sweet potato pies

Overall, a mixed experience. Our red velvet cake had two clearly burnt layers - a first for me at a commercial bakery. They should have been tossed if someone forgot about them and left them too long. And they weren't just a little burnt - they were really blackened and charred tasting. Too bad, because the cake otherwise could have been very nice. The sweet potato pie was very tasty, but the crust should have been pre-baked. That would have gotten rid of the raw, uncooked pie crust flavor, particularly when the crust is clearly not made with butter. Gotta pre-cook! The filling, though, was really delicious, which is the main reason I'm giving this place 3 instead of 2 stars. Would I try it again? Yes, I probably would as we're often in this neighborhood. However, in the future, I will be sure to check if the cake is burnt before walking out the door! read more

I have been getting cakes here for over several years now. I mean more than 15 years now. I must say that the customer service and the pastries- cakes, cupcakes & pies have always been amazing ! OMG- I just picked up a chocolate cake for my friends 33rd bday. He love chocolate! Everyone cannot stop talking about how delicious it is! Even myself, I am not a fan of Chocolate cake. But, I love delicious cake. I had one piece and cannot stop thinking about it. Craving it all night smh! Their chocolate cake is the only cake I will even buy or eat again! No lie. They have maintained quality of their cakes and customer service for several years now. So I will always support them. Also, the prices are amazing! They have been consistent. This is why I give them 5 stars! Even before the renovation- they are just worth it. If you haven't supported them. Give them a try. Trust me you will not be disappointed! read more

Abu's Homestyle Bakery - Chocolate cake - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Let's see...I remember walking into this place and seeing 3 ladies peering out of the window. When I walked in, they looked at me as if I had walked out of a travel machine. Strange! Looked at the cakes and, I cannot lie, they LOOKED amazing. The slices are fricken HUGE, by the way. After going between the red velvet and marble, I decided on the marble. Price: one smile on my face for $5 please! The price didn't surprise me, because the slice...goodness gracious. It's for two or three people, so if you finish this in one sitting, you probably are a cake master and I need to know your secrets. Quality: Wasn't a fan. Very dry cake. VERY!! I am lactose intolerant and needed milk after that if that tells you anything. Currently, I am an unofficial cake extraordinaire (have been since a kid) and this cake did not fit the bar. More moisture and less sugar please!! Customer service: Maybe it was something about me. I am not sure. They just wouldn't stop staring me down. I thought I was invited to a battle or something. Definitely won't be back and hope they fix that cake recipe. To each his own, but not for me :/ read more

I decided to try out the pies that almost every review is raving about, and I was not disappointed. I wouldn't call myself a "pie person," but these pies are definitely on the list of my favorite desserts! I ordered the mini coconut pie, pecan pie, and bean pie. I honestly couldn't choose a favorite, but I recommend trying all of them. They're small, but so satisfying. read more

Delicious! We loved the bean pie so much. Have heard great things about the coconut cake, can't wait to try it!

You can't go wrong at Abu's, you really can't. It goes without saying that there are a lot of really top notch bakeries in New York, Brooklyn, and Bed-Stuy too. It will do you well to explore the many options at hand. But there's a reason I keep going back to Abu's. Several, actually. First off, what comes out of that kitchen is just really damn good. Flakey cinnamon rolls with just enough satisfying bite, spiced and frosted with the perfect balance. Destructive pies, covering coconut custard, pecan, sweet potato, and bean. If you're don't need a big one, they have small ones too. Sharing not necessary. Cookies, brownies, banana pudding, and possibly the best feature of the shop: Cake trimmings. $3 for a big container of exceptionally moist and pure cuts of cake, double chocolate, German chocolate, carrot, and an extraordinary red velvet. I have never been a fan of the ultimate flavor mentioned, but Abu's has a flavor so clean, a texture so tender, and sweetness just right...it's pretty radical. The price, won't be bested by any other shop. What really counts though is that there are good people here. They care, and they bake with heart. Most of all, they share that love, and you can taste it. That's a good deal to me, and it's pretty tough not enjoy. read more
